Christmas at UHBC

The Name Above All Names

God has told us who He is, one name at a time. Creator. Provider. Shepherd. Prince of Peace. This Advent we're walking through those names together, all the way to the One who "became flesh and made his dwelling among us" (John 1:14).

Ugly sweaters, gingerbread, late-night study fuel, and candlelight on Christmas Eve. There's a seat saved for you. Find your event below.

"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name."
PHILIPPIANS 2:9
